It makes no sense to pick and choose parts of the season to try to prove the team was better than it was, or that the pace has any bearing on this year.
The sad thing is, we probably have a couple more rough patches to go still. Digging a hole like this is just asking for trouble, we're not the 2015 Minnesota Wild.

I think his point is maybe the start of the season is this year's "8 game losing streak" and at the end of the year you say "other than the start, the Flames played 700 hockey".
